Massachusetts lawmakers are considering a move to legalize online casinos.
A pair of bills, proposed by State Sen. Paul Feeney and Rep. Daniel Cahill, would authorize The Bay State’s three land-based casinos to each team up with two operators to launch online gambling platforms.
SD 2240 and HD 4084, collectively known as the “Massachusetts Internet Gaming Act,” lay out a plan for the state’s casinos to hold Category 1 licenses, allowing them to partner with online operators without the need for shared branding.
Additionally, up to four other companies could obtain licenses to run online casino platforms independently. These Category 2 licenses would allow non-casino companies to enter the market without a physical presence in the state.
